It was so difficult being at home in Northern Ireland and watching the fires from afar. We have a beautiful mountain property in Wandiligong that came under threat with the fire burning in Abbeyard near Bright in the Alpine region in North East Victoria. My wife Tatia’s parents were staying there when police told them they should vacate. We felt helpless and scared, so I decided that I would race in Australia with a special helmet design and sell it after to donate the money to a worthwhile cause. The WorldSBK organisation got involved with BlazeAid and with this platform we can auction the helmet. When I spoke to Aldo, who has designed my helmets for the last few years we came up with this cool concept. I love it, and hope that you do!” Thanks to Arai & the WorldABK paddock, here’s my ONE OFF special edition Aussie helmet. I’ll be wearing it this weekend then it’s all yours ! Happy bidding guys. https://www.charitystars.com/product/jonathan-rea-s-special-helmet-worn-in-the-australian-superbike-grand-prix
